Deshaun Watson’s name has recently become one of the most recognizable in the NFL. Most reasons for the signal caller’s name recognition are quite damaging; however, there is now a favorable report on Watson.

The Cleveland Browns quarterback was traded from the Houston Texans and signed a massive five-year, fully guaranteed $230 million deal in 2022. This was before he ever played a snap in Cleveland, and it would be another 11 games before he would eventually play.

Watson’s tenure with the Browns has been less than stellar thus far. He has only played three seasons with the team and has either been injured or suspended in all three. There has been little success to make up for his quarterbacking woes.

While Watson may be currently sitting on the injured reserve after suffering a ruptured right Achilles tendon and will be for the rest of the season, he is now hearing some good news from the league. According to TMZ, the investigation into the claims against the QB has been closed.

The NFL Has Freed Deshaun Watson

After being traded by the Texans, it was revealed that there were plenty of allegations levied against Watson for sexual assault. The NFL would get involved, and after being found liable, they would suspend Watson for the first 11 games of the 2022 season.

After a year of relative quietness, there was another lawsuit thrown at the Browns’ signal-caller in September, which claimed he allegedly sexually assaulted a woman in 2020, causing the NFL to launch a personal conduct investigation.

The unidentified woman claimed that Watson got aggressive after being refused a massage in her home. She claimed she reluctantly massaged him for a bit before he sexually assaulted her in the bed.

After months of investigation, the NFL has closed the investigation into Watson. However, two lawsuits remain open. Watson eminently denies all the allegations that continued to be levied against him.
